October 12: Did some minor updates! Sorry that it's been awhile! This is probably one of the reasons Mattel switched to strictly enamel paints after 1972.10/12/20 Hot Wheels News!

Since the Spectraflame is transparent, such flaws cannot be hidden. Paint does not tone, the metal casting tones. Toning is not a flaw in the paint, but a flaw within the metal or tarnish on the metal's surface. What most collectors fail to realize is that the appearance of the paint results from what is underneath. Those cars just happen to have a better plating, or a better batch of metal or had fewer imperfections. This is why sometimes cars have an "over-chrome" appearance. If the Zamac that was used was not properly polished or was impure, the tone and shade of the Spectraflame is greatly affected. Since it is transparent, the base that it is being applied to must be consistent and pure. Spectraflame paint is a transparent paint. Of the 24 found, this does not even include shade variations.Īside from the painting process, the preparation of the casting itself plays a huge role in shade variations. By the end of 1972, there were at least 16 distinct colors found, but to date, as many as 24 distinct colors have been documented. By 1970, new colors were being introduced and existing colors were reformulated or phased out all together. Mattel's color pallet changed several times during production. Spectraflame redlines have been found in a number of different colors and shade variations that were not listed in the 1969 catalog.Īlong with the original color pallet, Mattel had several experimental colors that were used in the early years of production. This color listing shows 12 different colors being used, but as time would tell, it is far from accurate. Mattel never officially released this color pallet to the general public, but the closest thing to an official release can be found in the 1969 Collector's Catalog. When the first engineering pilot samples arrived from the factory, there was one color pallet from the beginning. But exactly how many different colors were used between 19 is still unknown. All of the cars in 1968 have been found in at least nine colors, and for some models, as many as 16 different colors are known to exist. When sales exploded, that quickly changed. Spectraflame redlines were originally listed in the 1968 catalog as being available in two colors each.
